<h1>Editing a dataset report displayed as a graph</h1>
<p>Editing a dataset report on a document changes only the grid or graph 
 dataset in the document; it does not change the original report. To format 
 the Grid/Graph control that the dataset report is placed in, see 
<a href="Formatting_Grid_Graphs.htm">Formatting 
 Grid/Graphs</a>, which discusses borders, title bars, and quick switch, 
 among other properties.</p>
<h2>To edit a Grid/Graph in Graph view</h2>
<ol start="1" type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Open the document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design 
 </B></span>or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable Mode</B></span>. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Select the Grid/Graph to edit.</p></li>
</ol>
<p class="whs2"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: 
 If the Grid/Graph is a shortcut, you cannot edit it because it is linked 
 to the dataset report. A message appears, allowing you to choose whether 
 to unlink the shortcut. If you click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span>, 
 changes made to the dataset report are no longer passed to the Grid/Graph 
 in the document. </p>
<ol start="3" type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>To change the graph type and sub-type, select them from 
 the first two-drop down lists on the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Graph</B></span> 
 toolbar.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>To format a part of the Grid/Graph, right-click the 
 Grid/Graph and select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Format</B></span>. 
 The 
<a HREF="Format_Graph_dialog.htm">Format: Graph dialog box</a> opens. 
 </p></li>
</ol>
<ol start="5" type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>To apply a rounded effect, specify font sizing, and 
 adjust the maximum categories and series, select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>General</B></span> 
 category. For details, see 
<a href="Format_graph.htm">Formatting a graph 
 report</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>To change graph options, such as titles and series colors, 
 select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Format</B></span> tab. For details, 
 see 
<a href="Format_graph.htm">Formatting a graph report</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>You can select whether to hide or display legends by 
 selecting <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Format</B></span> from the first 
 drop-down list, and <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Legend</B></span> from 
 the second drop-down list. Select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show</B></span> 
 check box to display the legend. From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Position</B></span> 
 drop-down list, select where to display the legend.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>To customize the format of each axis in the graph, select 
 the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Axes</B></span> category. For details, 
 see 
<a HREF="Adjust_graph_scaling.htm">Adjusting the scaling of a graph</a>.</p></li>
